PURPOSE
The purpose of this directive
is to establish the procedures for the rental rates of state-owned
employee housing facilities.
GENERAL
The director of the Department
of Administrative Services is responsible for determining the manner
in which the actual costs of employee residential rents are to be
calculated. Each state entity providing state-owned housing to employees
shall determine the monthly rental rate for each employee for the
fiscal year based on the following factors:
1. The cost of all maintenance,
based on past experience and anticipated increases over the biennium.
2. Utility charges, which
are not paid directly by the occupant.
3. All taxes and assessments
not otherwise exempted under sections 319.20 and 5709.08 of the Ohio
Revised Code.
4. The term of all leases
should coincide with the biennium.
Every lease agreement with
an employee should specifically state that the employee is responsible
for taxes and assessments, which may become due during the employee's
occupancy.
The amount of monthly rent
for each employee to be charged for the next fiscal year is to be
submitted to Real Estate Services, General Services Division, Department
of Administrative Services, no later than 30 days prior to the end
of the current fiscal year.
This directive supersedes
any previously issued directive or policy and will remain effective
until canceled or superseded.
